I know he is deceased but WP:BLP1E applies here. No significant coverage, and nothing about anything other than his death. GiantSnowman 20:27, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Subject is widely discussed in Karnataka, India. CBI enquiry is demanded by wife of the police officer in view of his deployment to that particular duty by his higher officers. Needs copy edit/clean up. - Rayabhari (talk) 13:56, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Reasons being IGP to whom the PSI was reporting has been transferred from Gulbarga due to public outrage and demand from the deceased's wife. At this moment yes there are no enough points to put on his life, but going forward as and when the enquiry gets started new information may come out.
 * Keep

Also if required page name can be renamed to "Death of mallikarjun bande". But i personally feel that page should not be deleted. Prajwalkumarmn (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:58, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Bande was a brave cop who died in the fierce encounter with Munna, a sharp shooter and active criminal with alleged nexus with underworld. Also, bande was credited for his crack down on rowdy sheeters for which it is reported that he was transferred to Crime Branch. His death has now sparked intense Socio-political and security debate in Karnataka. Government of Karnataka has even ordered for a thorough investigation into his death by the CID. Who Knows?? the outcome might act as a new milestone for future police reforms in India.--    ~ Irrigator   talk  05:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
